Hey, I got into an admittedly slightly heated argument over a probability question here:

https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=65041

(posts 6 - 13) and would just like to know what the correct interpretation really is. Ack...I may be way off base, and if so, I'd like to know, so that I can avoid putting my foot in my mouth in the future.

Thanks.

Don't worry...it's nothing out of the ordinary for PF...we haven't started a blood bath up there in homework help or anything.
